Innovation for everyone

By Tim O'LearyJuly 14, 2014

At Telstra, we want to delight our customers through innovation.

Many of the initiatives we’ve pursued this year, including the recently announced Telstra Research Partnership Program and our muru-D start up incubator, have the potential to deliver significant social outcomes for our customers and communities.

Our innovation agenda is complemented by the work of the Telstra Foundation, which helps to unlock the digital potential of community organisations that have an appetite for social innovation.
